fact about australia
drop bears, found exclusively in australia, are thought to not exist by some because of their similarity to koalas (NOT koala bears) but god save you if you encounter one. a koala is not likely to attack, and if they do the worst they’d do is probably a bit or a few scratches. they chew on leaves all day and lounge in trees. a drop bear? you’d be lucky to get away with no major injuries. they feed on blood.
however! you can avoid them if you wear a floppy hat with corks on the strings, which you can buy at virtually any tourist shop. for more information, visit https://australian.museum/learn/animals/mammals/drop-bear/
unfortunately, due to measures avoiding panic about the drop bear, some of the information on the site is not written in a definitive tone but rest assured that every word is true.
